[Boro]

Thanks tom my CO is pushing for me to get it done for september for Our show in Cork Rep.Ireland but i told him I want to get it right and aiming for the October show in belfast and good news is Lonewolf is doing Gree as well so that with my kst and the wookies is going to look fab

[Guest Skupilkinson]

Nice one mate, Glad to see you're making progress now. Mine has begun too so if you wanna bash out ideas or solutions you know where I am.

[stormsurge]

Great stuff Michael, can't wait to see this in Belfast!

[Boro]

Some updats on the helmet from John lonewolf on here.

 

 

[Guest Skupilkinson]

Nice mate. Looks like a lot of work is going into fine details?

[mrbungle]

looking good, yeah my helmet mold is getting a bit rough so i am working on version 2 now, kinda.....

[lonewolf]

This helmet is massive compared to my Biker Scout lids. Yes your mold may be tiring but nothing that can't be fixed, the eye area has been a bit tricky to shape and clean up but the detail will look great when it comes together. This project is swaying me towards a KST in the future.

[Guest Skupilkinson]

Do it! There's a few of us "in the works" now here. It'd be nice to have more UK KST's.

[Boro]

Yep Lonewolf is super fussy I nearly gave him the full kit to do he love a challange but i like the enjoyment of building my own costume and dont mind a bit of help

[mrbungle]

no worries, he is doing a great job with it.

[Guest Magog]

Looknig good guys. Its going to turn some heads in Belfast. Great stuff.

Not bad mate! So do you always try your costume parts on in your car?

[Boro]

[mrbungle]

[Acrylikhan]

Thanks guys and yes I do try all my costume parts on in my car and phone box's I feel like super man

[Mosi]

The gloves are cool! Is there any way to make your thigh pockets smaller at this point? They look a bit on the big side. The flaps should also have a flat edge on the bottom with an angled cut coming in from the outside. You can see what I'm talking about in this pic.

 

I followed Lonescout's lead http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?show...amp;#entry49912

[Heatshock]

hey michael nice to see you posting again

hope you got my info on the bummerbund mate - nice to see the progress!

agree with mosi abt the thigh pockets though - looks like they werent modified? Just the pockets ont eh original trousers moved forward?

 

if I am not mistaken they should be 5inches x 7 inches with a different shape to em
